Hardly an elegant solution.

Dr. Mike, that was what I had done and it continues to have the next paragraph below the first without waiting for the picture to end. I am really looking for the effect of <br clear=left> but that keeps getting stripped out...

What browser, browser version and resolution are you using?

One thing that comes to mind is using 'p' tags, both opening and closing. For example:

[p][image tag]text[/p]
[p]text[/p]

Something like that.

Again it looks right when I am editing but then when I save and go to my page it isn't there. Any other ideas?

Looking at the post I can't even see "yep that's" in the post. I have a feeling this is because of the little amount of text beside the first photo.

Try putting in &nbsp <br /> a few times and it should drop the second photo down the page a little.

The br seemed to work in the editor, but was then gone when I posted. When I got rid of the text rich editor I typed in the codes, but then they were stripped out... any other thoughts?

If anyone's not sure what I am trying to do check out this post I would like the text that starts, "Yep, that's..." to appear beside the second photo.

(2) Alternatively leaving it on and trying < /br> may work.

I often post an image and want some text beside it and can do that fine. But then I want the next paragraph to start below the photo even if the initial text did not take up as much height as the photo. I have tried going into the html with clear=left with no luck. Is there something I'm missing
